| |
|
|
| Burke County detectives and the Federal Bureau
of Investigation are searching for a man who robbed the First Citizens Bank in
Hildebran on July 1st. |
| |
| The man reportedly entered the bank, located at
109 South Center Street, around 5 p.m. He walked over to a table containing
deposit slips and appeared to fill out one of the slips, according to
detectives and bank surveillance photos. |
| |
| Soon afterwards, the man approached one of the
tellers and produced the slip which had a threatening note written on it,
detectives said. The note reportedly instructed the teller to give him
money. |
| |
| The teller gave the robber an undisclosed amount
of money and he left the bank without incident. No one was reportedly
injured. |
| |
The suspect is described as a
white male approximately 6'0 tall in his early to mid twenties. He is slender
built with light brown hair and had a small amount of facial hair and side
burns.
He was wearing a ball cap with the letters "USA" written on the
front, along with a hooded sweatshirt with the letters "BONG" written across
the front.
Anyone having information as to the identity of the man or
information to the robbery is urged to contact the Burke County Sheriff's
Office at (828) 438-5500, or Mike White of the FBI at (828)
322-8513. |
